    Taking a week off, how much to eat?

    Ive decided to take a week off not only because of exams, but because I think my body could use it.

    Now, right now im bulking. Do I lower my calorie intake over this week or is my body still making muscle even if I havent worked out in several days?

    Dunno, how bout this, if you're eating ... totally off the top of my head... 150% of your maintenance on a normal basis...

    after workout
    1st day: 150%
    2nd day: 140%
    3rd day: 120%
    4th day: 100%
    and then so forth until you start working out again

    because muscle repair can still happen a few days after your workout. you eat the same on an off day as you would on a gym day right? why make this any differnt.
